Traffic originated by a VM may also need to be sent to all the other VMs belonging to the same logical switch. Specific […]

Nested vLab Network Environment In the following lab I’ll deploy a new DLR (DLR-S1-02) using a simplified procedure, some objects like Switch Ports and Router Ports will be auto generated. The ESG have been already installed (ESG-S1-44 & ESG-S1-46) and clustered (ECL-S1-02). On the left picture lab deployed on Part 7, on the right […]
